There are some companies that have their beginnings in the back yard or the home garage, but not many of these can claim to have started out almost by accident - but this is true of Moonraker Australia. The first Moonraker antenna system was designed in 1971 at home in the garage because its designer could not find a suitable HF marine antenna for his boat. Being the man who made live recordings possible from the battle fields of New Guinea in World War II, by inventing the first portable radio recording equipment, naturally he made it himself. It was not long before others in the marine fraternity envied its excellent performance and wanted one for themselves - and a new business was born. Moonraker Antenna Systems are quality engineered and manufactured, designed to meet the demands of the professional user yet also eminently suitable for the pleasure market. Antennas are available throughout the bands from MF receiving antennas to antennas for MF/HF and VHF transceivers, including hand held portable transceivers, and UHF. Moonraker has pioneered the development of the super rugged HF automatic tuning (AT) series of antennas which is suitable for all vehicles and compatible with most transceivers. With Moonraker Auto Tune it is now possible to tune automatically by push button to any frequency in the HF range (2-30 MHz) typically within 1 to 2 seconds, without the use of an antenna tuning unit and without needing to stop the vehicle to change antenna taps. A series of high power antennas has been developed to the exacting specifications of the Royal Australian Navy. These antennas will perform at 1kW continuous in salt laden atmospheres and cyclonic winds of 240 km/h (150 mph), and can be tilted through 90 degrees.
